Extractions: Heritage Management in Africa by Webber Ndoro For some time, cultural heritage management in Africa has been mainly concerned with the preservation and presentation of heritage sites from a technical point of view. The emphasis has been on the preservation of the architecturally spectacular places, such as the pyramids of Egypt and Sudan, the forts and castles of Ghana, and the stone monuments of Zimbabwe. Although heritage management systems in Africa are slowly changing, in most cases management focuses on the tangible elements of the heritage and overemphasizes the monumental and archaeological aspects. Communities and Their Heritage memories (individual, collective, cognitive, and culturally constituted processes);

In East Africa, the Swahili societies extended trade along the coast from Somalia to Mozambique. They also established links with inland societies such as Great Zimbabwe and Mwene Matapa.

Hugh Tracey Recordings: Part 2 / RootsWorld Recording Review Council began encouraging the use of indigenous African musical Songs from shona dialectgroups such as the Katanga mine culture where peoples lived together http://www.rootsworld.com/reviews/tracey2.shtml
Extractions: Hugh Tracey (19031977) is one of the pillars of the discipline that still limps under the title of "ethnomusicology." Tracey's contributions as a primary researcher and field recorder are standing the test of time. His "Sound of Africa" series issued 210 recordings, published by the International Library of African Music (ILAM), which he had founded. These CDs are reissued recordings selected from that series and offer a glimpse of what has until now been mostly available only in academic archives. Tracey's work began with the Shona of Zimbabwe but expanded far beyond that region of Africa. It was a remarkable time for Africa, as it shifted or prepared to shift from its history as colonized territories. In their own way, Tracey's recordings also document the history of recording machines used for remote fieldwork. Tracey's first, in the 1930s, involved a clockwork-powered machine that cut a groove in an aluminum disc. Not till much later did he attain stereo recording capability with a Nagra. His microphone technique was to seek out the sound he wanted, hand holding the microphone to capture a spontaneous field mix that comes through superbly on these recordings. Tracey, it seems, sought to capture and document a cross-section of society in the tribal villages, schools, workplaces and anywhere else he found music. That wasn't always the most proficient performer.

Extractions: Project Description This summer, Rachel will travel to Matobo National Park in Zimbabwe to conduct a community-based study of rock art sites, dating from approximately 9,000 years ago when San hunter-gatherers painted images on rock shelters. Her goal is to develop a collaborative interpretation of the sites, through empirical research and qualitative interviews with local inhabitants, including Shona, Ndebele and white Zimbabweans. With the official endorsement and support of the museum that administers the sites, she will be well positioned to deepen our understanding of the effects of tourism and archaeological study on identity formation and nationalism in modern Zimbabwe. Her research will culminate in her Senior Anthropology Honors Thesis and in a multimedia module that will make her research more broadly accessible.

::SAMSUNG CRICKET LOVERS:: nearly 98 percent of Zimbabwe's indigenous population; less and the remainder areAsians and peoples of mixed 77 percent belong to the shona linguistic group http://www.samsungcricketlovers.com/about_host/zimbabwe.asp
Extractions: ABOUT ZIMBABWE Zimbabwe, like Botswana, is a landlocked country at the base of the African continent. Its neighbors are Mozambique (to the east), South Africa and Botswana (to the south and west), and Zambia (to the north). Zimbabwe lies on a high plateau, and its terrain consists primarily of grasslands bordered on the east by mountains. The northeastern border of the country is marked by the mighty Zambezi River, along which is located the incomparable spectacle of Victoria Falls and the magnificent expanse of Lake Kariba. The Zambezi has become one of the world's best water adventure travel destinations, offering outstanding whitewater rafting in the Zambezi Gorges below the falls as well as excellent canoeing and kayaking above them. Black Africans constitute nearly 98 percent of Zimbabwe's indigenous population; less than 1 percent are white, and the remainder are Asians and peoples of mixed racial origin known as 'colored'. The white population, mostly of Rhodesian, South African, and British origins, increased from 80,000 in 1945 to a peak of 277,000 in 1977 and then declined through emigration. Of the black majority, mostly Bantu, 77 percent belong to the Shona linguistic group and are commonly referred to as Mashona; about 20 percent are members of the ethnically related Ndebele speaking tribes known as Matabele. Smaller black ethnic groups include the Sotho, Sena, and Tonga.

Extractions: Zulu Politics From James O. Gump's "The Dust Rose Like Smoke: The Subjugation of the Zulu and the Sioux": "Despite similarities in the Sioux and Zulu experiences civil war, partition, and national disintegrationkey differences clearly emerge. Economically, the Sioux were marginalized by their encounter with the United States, made "useless" to the economic growth of the country. A defeated Zululand, on the other hand, transformed itself into a reservoir of cheap labor, a highly desireable commodity to the British and later to South African whites..." Louis, the SA information is interesting (and some of it new to me) but I don't get a couple of things here. First, why the comparison of these two peoples? A marxist approach would surely locate such processes of resistance and cooptation within a mode of production and expanded division of labour, as Gump does in this paragraph: It strikes me that the articulations of modes of production in the SA case (not just with respect to the Zulu, but to most of the indigenous peoples) was a strikingly important process in the advanced-industrial, and indeed often explicitly socialist character of working-class and poor people's resistance to Inkatha and the apartheid regime during the 1970s and 1980s. That brings me to the second point, which is that the far more important force in Zulu politics during the 1970s was the trade union movement (which in recent SA history was actually born in Durban from Zulu worker militancy in 1973), and during the 1980s the United Democratic Front (an ANC proxy). This was (and to an extent still is) a mass-democratic, non-racial politics, and tens of thousands of Zulu people paid for their more progressive politics with their lives, at the hands of Inkatha and the old regime. It is strange that this gets left out of Gump's concluding chapter, since he touches on Inkatha's post-1975 revival.
